BBC World Service - Newshour, UK falls silent to remember Covid victims

It has been one year since the UK announced its first coronavirus lockdown.

The UK has marked the first anniversary of the first lockdown by holding a minute's silence to remember the victims of Covid-19.

The UK has marked one year since the announcement of its first coronavirus lockdown. It has marked the first anniversary by holding a minute's silence to remember those who have died from Covid-19. The country's top nurse takes time to reflect on the past year.

Also on the programme: the crisis engulfing Australian politics in the wake of new sex tapes that have surfaced; and how the common cold might boot out Covid-19.
